Centralized data collection
Automatic retrieval of measurements from surface and groundwater hydrological stations and other sensor sources, independent of equipment manufacturer.
IoT & environmental monitoring
AURA – The IoT Platform for Connecting Sensors and Institutions
AURA is ITO's platform for connecting IoT devices, measurement stations, sensors, and expert data into a single operational system. Its specialized implementation, Hydro Agro Cloud, was developed for the cross-border MoWaClim project to monitor salinity and water quality in the Neretva valley, giving farmers and institutions timely data every 15 minutes.

The AURA IoT Platform
Data quality monitoring
Checking the range, completeness, and logical validity of every measurement, and flagging outdated, duplicated, or suspicious values.
Central station and sensor monitoring
Tracking station availability, sensor status, availability history, and active alerts in real time.
AURA connects physical infrastructure, data, and institutions, enabling:
Built on a modular and scalable architecture, AURA allows institutions to connect sensors and measurement stations from different manufacturers and turn technical values into understandable indicators and operational recommendations.
Talk to our experts-
Interactive map and historical trends
Displaying measurement stations on an interactive map with comparison of locations, parameters, and trends over a selected period.
-
Understandable indicators and alerts
Turning technical values into clear categories and operational recommendations, with alerts when thresholds are exceeded.
